Is your child hyperactive? How do manage this problem?

I took a parenting class on my son's ADHD. They stress the MOST is consistentency and routine structure. This works best for my son but not always, but I have to be consistent with him to do things, keep things the same and keep a regular routine. If we go out of the routine, he is like on two cases of pure sugar!!! Everyone in the family has to help with the same things, how you do at home and at school should be close to the same. I don't blame you and feel for you, I lose my patience alot also and the kids can sense that. Many times, I think my son does this just to see how far he can push me and see me go insane. My son also is very impulsive and some things we may never be able to control. I didn't want to do medicine but eventually, he was getting wild, out of control and I had to put him on some. I don't give him much sugar, anything with red dye in it (hot dogs, kool-aide or anything "red") I don't give him soda/pop. There are many different sites you could also to for help. http://www.adhd.com, http://www.chadd.org, http://www.kidshealth.com/adhd and you could also look on here under autism and adhd there may be other situations you have been in and another parent may posted. I wish you the best and good luck. We all understand what you are going through.

Did you talk to a child psychologist? They would know better about behavioural issues and dealing than doctors. Also, take care of your own and your family's psychological well being, you are your best tool. :) If I have time, later on this afternoon, I'll check my developmental psychopathology book for tips, but I suggest you talk to a psychologist!

My dear if your child has autism then you've got to double your patience as this is really but common in autistic child. She needs a lot of understanding, and it really takes time before remarkable improvement can be seen. You've got to have him enrolled in a school for special children where there are OT's and PT's who can take care of him and will help improve his condition. Also you avoid giving the child chunk foods as this increases all the more her hyperactive tendencies. I suggest you let the child have daily dose of lecithin which has been proven to calm hyperactivity.

Children with autism often do not understand the orders and unable to communicate actively. The words sounded strange and say they often use terms that are not commonly used. One characteristic of autistic children is the low ability to show a willingness/ pervasive, so children may not hungry but have no desire to eat. While the concentration hyperactive child was limited as well and very easily distracted his attention to other activities of the newer, but much easier to be directed to a simple task, although often not completed. so there is a difference between children austis with hyperactive children. Here are some tips that you can apply in an effort to deal with hyperactive children. Teach discipline in hyperactive children, so that he can manage himself well. Do not punish him for hyperactive behavior is not the fault of your child. Never label a child as hyperactive brats, lazy or stupid, because eventually he will act as dilabelkan him. The effectiveness of different therapies for each child. Parents should determine the best therapy for children. Most importantly give affection (not spoil) in hyperactive children than other relatives. The reason, how much love is poured out on hyperactive children, will never be filled. In teaching your child hyperactive, do not be bored to continuously repeat the things that can be learned quickly and remembered by normal children. In front of your child is, say to others if he is a good kid, and do not comment on the mistakes he had ever done. Constantly/ continually be on guard against any actions that might endanger themselves or others. Expand communication with your child. If the normal children we tend to communicate at certain moments, in hyperactive children we must communicate "every single minute so". One of the hardest things to overcome is the hyperactive child when he was at the dinner table and we asked him to feed themselves. Maybe he'll even play food or running around the dining table. Do not scold him! All you have to do is you have to feed them with patience

I have a friend whose four-year-old brother is hyperactive and has Attention Deficiency Disorder. He is often really disruptive and destructive. He would break his toys when I don't know why and even kicked my other friend in the groin. We all started laughing, but this made him punch his stomach. My friend who got beaten up got really pissed that he slapped the kid. Then the child cried like a maniac, threw a pillow at their tv and accedentally broke a figurine. I don't know why the family would just restrain the kid. I guess the only cure for hyperactivity is time..

I grew up with ADHD and still have it and I am in college and doing well. My parents sent me to several psychologists and I was placed on various medications. I strongly believe that medications do more harm than good and psychologists only tell you things you already know but make it sound professional. The only thing that will truly improve your child's behavior is her own growth and maturity. Speaking from my own experience I would say the best thing you can do is explain to your child that they are indeed different from their peers (of course in a good way). It will make your child aware that they are different and as humans do naturally she may try to adjust her behavior to be more like her peers. Also, the best way to keep a child's attention with ADHD is to make something a challenge. Working with your child to "challenge" her to good behavior may make it fun and interesting. I can only offer insight for ADD/ADHD as I do not know a lot about autism nor its implications.

Hi Borhan, I understand your feelings because my brother suffers from ADHD too it is a hyperactivity disorder. I suggest that you should sent her to a SPED where there are trained and teach. the teachers there are trained and specialized for teaching children with the same problem as your daughter. Although very expensive, it will help a lot for your daughter. My brother was eventually overcome his hyperactivity and now it lessen his disorder.
